The Los Angeles Rams traded up to the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft in hopes of landing the next former Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning or Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck, according to NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock. ‘You don’t make the trade unless you think [North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz] can be one of those guys,’ Mayock said, ‘and Carson Wentz has the upside to be one of those guys.’

Footballguys View: The headline should read “Duh” at some point. The Rams have traded away a lot of capital in order to move up to the first pick. Wentz has the ability and upside to be a top-12 QB in the NFL, but many think Jared Goff (California) does as well.
